I wish I could say April Fools, but alas its too late. A Parking Lot Coaster is better than no coaster at all!

If those were in even better locations, it would make them even better!

Is there such thing as a good parking lot rollercoaster?

They way this is going, the monuments going to be closed 72 times by the end of the year!

Pfffffffft. All I got to say.

X Flight! There I said it! I hope Diamondback starts testing again, I've been waiting!

*Cues The Interpreter to defend NJFTP and other SIX Parks* Exits stage left.

Seeing that transfer track move has to be one of the coolest things I have seen in my life!

I was talking about a new access road/path that would not go all the way over to the train to be used for other purposes. Not a new midway.

No question is a dumb question! Someone earlier pointed out they were building a new path from the slaughterhouse to Diamondbacks hammerhead turn. The new WWC path goes from near Diamondbacks first drop, crosses the train tracks and I presume joins the pathway somewhere in the woods.

I wish I could watch a POV of Diamondback and wear the Oculus Rift thats so realisitc it made this guy think he was actually falling! That would be pretty cool and uber weird at the same time! Observations and thoughts for today. Snipped from Kings Island's Diamondback Webcam, found here:https://www.visitkingsisland.com/online-fun/webcams-7315_34349 If my handwriting is illegible to you guys I will tell you what I am saying. THE RED AREA BY DB This area I could see them putting a small midway type area with a couple of flat rides. Other Red thing is pointing at a possible new path someone was talking about earlier. Orange Thing Pointing to the fact that Diamondback is now testing, with its Splash Pool now full! Yellow Thing Pointing to the fact that the new Funnel Cake place is now nearly complete!! Green Area by WWC Land Clearing is continuing in the area that used to have the old WWC path. The old Funnel Cake building and some paths near the Train station look to be cleared out. New WWC path is looking like it is being installed. This area could be the possible Project 2017 area! I hope everyone has an absolutely great and fantastic day!

Sorry Terp, I am usually on top of things! I was about to put the link but I guess I forgot. Sorry again! I am really wondering if Six Flags has some plans to counter this if it happens.... they have been having good attendance from San Francisco and it looks like CGA is going to try and steal some of that market share. Its amazing to see how much can change in three years and three months. In late 2012 there were rumors swirling that CGA would be no more after they would be bought out. Thank God the buyer backed out of the bid! stausha123 has a nice ring to it!

I really wish Thrill Biscuit was around to Photoshop that.

Look at this plan!

Carowinds on a much larger scale.... all I have got to say is wow. Wish KI was getting some of this attention from Cedar Fair.

2013 by far.... "Wow SOB is gone, what do those signs mean?" and I met some KIC members briefly at noon. Honorable mention goes to 2015.

You might as well swing by my place then! I live about 10 minutes from their, I love Putzs! Go to KI, it will be worth it and keep your 5 year Opening Day Streak going! I however will hopefully be able to make it to KI soon, though I do not know if I have anyone for me to go to Opening Day with...

A new Splash Boats ride! SplashHawk!

A Diversion? Post by Terp noted. I will cast my vote for that name too! StrataHawk? Though that might make us look like Americas RollerCoast South. I look forward to whatever KI has up their sleeve and the PR campaigns for anything can drive us crazy, in a good way. Last years Tropical Plunge PR campaign was truly diversionary. Hopefully this one will be even more so!

HawkHawk, BirdHawk, IronHawk, GoldHawk? And I think that the blue shaded area in my Google Earth and the Red one if worked right, its semi-feasible at best.... and as I said earlier, I will not jump on the Giga Bandwagon until there is sufficent evidence, I learned that the hard way with Banshees Construction. I am glad we were able to engage in a discourse with no argument! I like it that way.

Someone was not following regulatons..... I am praying for her family.

Wow. This will surprise everyone. This looks like a great RMC!

I think the most realistic location for a giga would be with the station being where dinos is right now. There doesn't look to be enough space in the blue location, and even if there was, I don't think they'd want to ruin the wooded area around Rivertown. That's just my opinion though.That is just for a possible expansion for anything. The giga could not fit their.

I think it can be very feasible if they had the money and the intiative and what I meant by rideship was year over year change of the numbers, all of the top ten rides ridden by guests at KI declined in ridership... Here is your Google Earth image. Dinos Alive could be ripped out and replaced by the station area for the new giga or the SOB station could be used as the starting point for a giga that would go over Banshee somehow.

I think that a Giga could be a possibility, anything is possible! And to whomever thinks that we cannot add another roller coaster 3 years after one, that is absolutely ludicrous. Trends in the past do not indicate trends in the future. Look at Cedar Point! They waited 6 years between Maverick and Gatekeeper but only 3 between Valravn and Gatekeeper, does not indicate a trend. ROI is a big question though, but I believe an investment could be worth it as the ridership numbers last year told me that attendance dropped slightly last year. I do need to see more evidence and land clearing before I jump on the Giga bandwagon though, however that does not mean I rule it out for next year and beyond yet. Welcome to KIC Drummermattk! You will learn to love this place no matter how much it can make you think otherwise. Its his first post, cut him a little slack, it took us all sometime to get used to KIC.
